Chapter 52, Necromancy

As soon as Xinghe and his party entered the large forest area, Rena waved the staff in her hand and unleashed the "Enchantment" skill.

Because she also realized that she was still lacking in strength in that battle yesterday.

So I began to learn in a good way, Nina and Xinghe used the "Fighting Skill" skill in normal times, but I didn't expect that I accidentally realized the new skill of "Enchantment" from it.

After being shrouded in enchantments, Galaxy can also use this to increase MP.

“…… Hehe, how does Galaxy feel? ”

Rena stared at Xinghe with a smug expression.

When the avant-garde uses the "Fighting Technique" skill, he strengthens his body by wrapping magic power around his body.

On the other hand, Rena unfolds a small part of the "enchantment" to create a wall of magic, and teammates inside the wall will also be strengthened.

Rena didn't just spread out a spherical barrier in order to be able to attack from anywhere, and it wasn't just a part of it.

So from the perspective of the galaxy, Rena's skill is still too tender.

"The scope of 'enchantment' is uneven.

The magic is too, there are too many gatherings here, and I really don't think there is the same.

So this is just the extent of it, but any adventurer above the D rank can immediately see through it, and thus break through it with one blow where your barrier is weak. ”

“…… Well, but ......"

Rena explained, "It's tiring to keep unleashing the ball-like 'enchantment'. "If you are used by the galaxy" is like this, your MP will increase. Retorted.

Because Galaxy itself often carries out "fighting skills" and "Skynet Restoration" to maintain daily life.

Note: "Fighting Techniques" can also be referred to as "Fighting Techniques".

The way Galaxy unfolds the "fighting technique" is different from that of ordinary adventurers, he makes his magic flow as if circulating in his body, so this technique is also called "flowing" by him.

And Xinghe is used to it, and he wraps his magic around his body in a flowing way.

This time, he began to practice the image of the magic power that flows with blood on the inside of the body, and uses the "Fighting Technique" skill.

To be honest, it was still difficult for him to adapt, and the most difficult of them was the experiment of the galaxy, which ran both "flow" and "fighting skills" at the same time.

In the end, although it succeeded, it also took him a lot of effort.

However, the reason why Xinghe wants to do this is also to make him mistakenly think that he is a rookie who can't even use "fighting skills" when fighting against others, so that his carelessness can be noticed.

As for MP, Galaxy is naturally improving day by day.

Maybe it's because Xinghe always has "fighting skills" and "Skynet Restoration" in his usual days, so even if his current state has not been upgraded, his MP and various physical abilities have also improved.

……

"Oh, Xinghe, look at Rena, that's a giant bull~!"

At this moment, Nina used the "Seek Enemy" skill to detect the existence of a monster in front of her, and when she looked closely, it was a giant bull galloping towards them.

"I know."

With the blessing of "Skynet Restoration", it is impossible not to discover it.

However, he didn't plan to make a move this time, after all, the main purpose this time was to cultivate Nina and Rena.

So while they fought, Xinghe stood by and watched.

"Ha~喽~"

With a joking shout from Nina, her figure moved in front of the giant bull almost instantaneously.

“……”

When Nina got to the side of the bull, there was still a distance of ten meters.

Xinghe, he couldn't see Nina's movements clearly.

Not only Xinghe, but the giant bull also fell into an instinctive panic for a while because of Nina's sudden appearance.

For this flaw in it, Nina will not let it go easily.

With the "Critical Attack" cast, he easily cut off the neck of the giant bull.

"yes, hey~~ Xinghe, this dagger is so sharp~~"

It's not just weapons that have gotten stronger.

(This is not something that ordinary E-class adventurers can do...... )

Nina covered the blade with her magic, which is why the sharpness was so terrifying.

Xinghe looked at the ground, and after the head of a giant bull with a neck circumference of eighty-seven centimeters that had been cut off with just one blow, he looked at Nina again.

Nina was now fiddling with the dagger in her hand, and she seemed very happy with the new weapon.

On Rena's side, the sweaty appearance seems to have taken all her strength to maintain this "barrier".

After re-checking Nina's status sheet, everything was normal.

"Short Sword Two Blade Stream", "Assassination Technique", and "Lock Picking" were all born to LV2.

"Short Sword Skill" has even been upgraded to LV3.

As for the equipment on her body, such as steel forehead guards, hard leather jackets, hand armor, and leather boots, Xinghe used "alchemy" to add skills that would help Nina.

However, the slot of Nina's inherent skill has aroused Xinghe's concern.

After all, in Ann's previous reality, when there was no inherent skill, that column should have displayed "none", but this was not the case on Nina's side, where there was a blank line from "none".

——View——

Intrinsic Skills:

——————

(It's kind of weird...... )

Note: Inherent skills are not innate, but as long as they are skills, they can be acquired.

Therefore, Xinghe thinks that this may be a precursor to Nina's acquisition of inherent skills.

And he expected that the inherent skills that Nina would learn in the future should be similar to the way she moved just now.

Seeing Nina's progress, Xinghe also confirmed Rena's status table by the way.

"Singing Speed Up", "White Magic", and "Black Magic" are all born to LV3.

Even the "Enchantment" that she only recently comprehended was born to LV2, and just now, she learned a new skill "MP Recovery Speed Up LV1".

However, Rena's strength and stamina values are still very low.

(It doesn't go up like a level at all...... )

But Xinghe can also realize that Rena is only a thirteen-year-old girl now.

Being able to raise the level of white magic and black magic to LV3 at this age can be said to be quite top-notch among many defender adventurers.

Rena's guard equipment has also been experimented with by the galaxy.

The skill is given again on the Ogre Leather Heel Life Ring, which already has a skill.

And the result was quite smooth, and the fact of success made Xinghe confirm that on the equipment that was originally given skills, other skills could be granted.

“…… Galaxy, hahahu...... Give me a magic tonic......"

Rena's face turned pale, and she reached out to Xinghe while holding her knees, asking him if she wanted a magic tonic.

"Here, take it."

After taking the supplement, she drank it down, this is the request Rena made to Xinghe yesterday.

Xinghe asks Rena to provide the magic supplement she can.

This allows Rena to use MP to her heart's content in battle.

And Galaxy also gladly accepted the agreement between them.

Anyway, you can use alchemy to make magic supplements at any time, and at the same time, you can also increase your alchemy level accordingly.

And the source of the material for the magic tonic is naturally growing near the big forest, as long as Xinghe wants it, then he can come here to collect it effortlessly.

Since just now, Xinghe has been watching from the sidelines while collecting medicinal herbs.

However, the magic grass, moon grass, and Poco flowers and other plants collected along the way were not collected by Xinghe casually.

Instead, on the premise of using the "Otherworldly Eye of Vision", he tried to collect those good qualities as much as possible.

Of course, another point is that in order to be able to continue collecting next time they come here, Xinghe left them with some residual seedlings that they can continue to plant.

Just like cutting leeks, Galaxy has developed the habit of not lighting at one time.

“…… Whew, I'm starting to get used to enchantments.

…… Not so tired anymore. ”

Rena drank a lot of magic potions, and even through the robes, Xinghe could see the slight bulge in her belly.

Rena said that she had begun to get used to using the "Enchantment" skill, but this kind of thing is impossible for anyone to get used to immediately.

In fact, Xinghe could also see her expression, not how calmly she said verbally......

"Oh, okay then...... Then next time you come out, you can continue to stay in this state and use magic to support Nina. ”

“…… No, no problem at all, I'm a genius magician. ”

"Call yourself yes, okay, got it."

……

Joseph, who usually comes to follow the galaxy, is not absent today.

However, what was different from the past was that he had given up the equipment of the Concealment Department and followed them directly behind the galaxy, but the distance was about one hundred and fifteen meters more than before.

For Joseph, who is a few points stronger than himself, Xinghe doesn't have a good way to deal with it at the moment, but he still occasionally engages in Ming Raid and uses the Wind Cutting Magic in his direction.

However, these attacks were either dodged by him or counteracted by skill.

(Annoying uncle...... )

But after they entered the Great Forest, they didn't pay much attention to him.

After processing the materials on the giant bull, there were many monsters such as goblin soldiers, half-orcs, half-orc soldiers, deep forest demon spiders, and murder snakes that were attracted by the smell of blood.

But they were all knocked down one by one by Nina calmly.

Rena also has a lot of support magic around Nina, but because she has always maintained the enchantment, she casts no more magic than before.

“…… Whew, whew.

…… It's hard work, but it's over. ”

"Rena, look~This is the place where I fought yesterday~"

Rena also looked around when she heard this.

The place where they stood was the same place where the Black Goblin General fell yesterday.

Many meteorite-shaped craters created by the Galaxy's fourth-rank blasting technique.

and hundreds of goblin corpses, perhaps the bones that were eaten by the monsters and were almost all that remained.

However, among the goblin corpses everywhere, the body of the black goblin general was somehow untouched by other monsters.

It was in the same condition as when it was knocked down yesterday, and it was discarded in place.

When Xinghe went up to check, he also found that although its body was not affected by external factors, it also began to decompose after several hours of fermentation.

The corpse of the Black Goblin General, in terms of appearance alone, is still very beautiful, except for the lack of ears.

Therefore, Galaxy plans to use it for necromancy experiments this time.

But before that, we need to get in the way of Joseph.

"Wind and Dust" –

Xinghe used the magic of earth and wind to blow dust into his eyes with the wind.

"Eyes! Ahhh Ahh......hh ”

For Joseph, who was rolling back and forth on the ground, Xinghe simply ignored it.

It was also out of interest in what Galaxy wanted to do next.

Nina and Rena watched quietly.

Then Xinghe used the "necromancy" that he had plundered from the king "Great Demon Ape" on the tenth floor of the Gorgo's Labyrinth, and successfully resurrected the black goblin general.

A black mist of necromantic magic spread out from Xinghe's hands.

The black goblin general, who was completely enveloped in black mist, didn't take long for his eyes to glow with a red-black halo.

And the first thing it did after getting up was to kneel on one knee in front of Xinghe.

"My lord—please give your order—"

"Oh?"

Xinghe didn't know if it was because of his own low level of necromancy or if it was resurrected with necromancy, but he just felt that the accent it spoke now was heavier than yesterday......

"Tell me, do you still have any memories from before?"

"There's—"

"Then you should remember me, right?"

"Remember, please give me an order—"

It seems that monsters resurrected by necromancy will obey the caster.

(It says it has a memory, but I don't feel hostility towards me in it...... )

Nina, who was behind Xinghe at the moment, looked at Xinghe with an uneasy expression.

But Rena didn't feel that way, she seemed quite interested, shaking her dull hair while observing the Goblin General.

"Well, it doesn't matter."

The next moment, Xinghe picked up the hands and feet near the Goblin General and threw them to the Goblin General.

"What does this mean——?

The Goblin King held his hands and feet thrown at by the galaxy and stared at the galaxy in ignorance.

“……”

Galaxy didn't answer its question.

Simply pressed the severed limb of the Goblin King against the severed part, and then applied healing to it.

As a result, the arms and legs were connected without any problems.

By the way, the healing magic of the Holy Magic Department will bring damage to the undead.

However, the healing technique of white magic can also be used to grant skills, which will have the effect of increasing the recovery speed.

Originally, Galaxy thought that healing would be ineffective against the undead, but the Goblin General recovered without any problems.

(Looks like I'm going to have to change my perception of white magic healing.) )

After the process of joining the goblin's hand and foot, Starriver handed over the iron sword that fell nearby to the Goblin General.

"I hereby give you instructions.

Go hunt all the monsters in the neighborhood.

But only if it is not discovered by other adventurers or humans.

That's it for now, and I'll take the initiative to contact you later. ”

"I know—"

The earless goblin general responded to the galaxy and disappeared into the depths of the forest.

However, before he left, Xinghe confirmed its status chart.

——————

Because it was taken away by the galaxy before, all of its skill bars are blank.

There have also been a number of changes to its status table.

(If you take away a skill, you will no longer be able to acquire the skill, or if you can learn it again.) )

Xinghe really wanted to know how this matter would develop.

And this is the main reason why he experimented with the corpse of the Goblin General.

And Xinghe also learned in this experiment that the undead who are resurrected by necromancy magic can share information with Xinghe through magic, so even if Xinghe does nothing, the information of the Great Forest will still be collected into his mind through it.

In the distance from the galaxy, Joseph's shouts were still heard.

However, this did not arouse Nina's interest in Rena, so the three of them reached an agreement to ignore Joseph together......

"That's all for today, let's go back to the guild."

"Okay~"

“…… Good. ”

After the hunting and gathering in the Great Forest, the Galaxy and their families are ready to leave for the city of Kama.

But on the way, Joseph yelled at the galaxy with red eyes.

But how could Xinghe pay attention to him, and only threw "Mind my" to him. After that, I went straight back.

- Adventurer's Guild Foreground.

"Mr. Xinghe, you are so amazing!

The state of each herb is full! ”

After Xinghe handed over some of the herbs he had collected, Krett was surprised at the number at first.

But after the identification, her surprise turned to their quality.

"You can actually collect the magic grass in such a good state......

Scary! So is this Poco flower! Even Tsukiso! ”

"Miss Kerlet, please calm down......"

Perhaps she came back to her senses, and she apologized for the rude just now.

"I'm sorry, I was rude."

"That's right......"

From the time Galaxy entered the door of the guild, he was already concerned about that matter-

"Miss Kerlet, how is the house search?"

"Yes! I haven't forgotten it.

If I want to see it now, I can come up with five introduction rooms here. ”

As soon as the words fell, Xinghe took over the relevant information from Kret.

"Hmmm......"

After a general glance, because Galaxy said that the down payment could be paid fifty gold coins.

Each room seemed to be spacious, and the beams of the room were sufficient.

(With so many rooms, you should be able to sleep soundly...... )

"It's a big house."

"Yes, this is a mansion hired by a nobleman, but it's outside the walls of the city of Kama, so I don't recommend it in terms of security aspects such as monsters and bandits.

And although the nobleman built this house, he hardly lived there himself, so it was abandoned.

But compared to this house...... What do you think of this house?

There are a lot of nobles and merchants living near the place, and the security is also very good, I recommend it! ”

(What about law and order...... )

Regarding the matter of law and order, Xinghe thinks that after all, there is a precedent for goblin general zombies, so he plans to get a few more monsters controlled by necromantic magic.

(There should be no problem...... )

"No, just next time.

Can I go and see this house? ”

"Yes, but if you're going to come to the Adventurer's Guild over there...... And things in life will be very inconvenient.

And the house here was purchased by an agent.

So what about ......"

"It's okay."

"But ......," said Khrett in a soft whisper, "it would become uncommon." ”

However, this sentence was accurately heard by Xinghe's inherent skill "Hearing Ascension".

At this time, Kret's expression was too sad in Xinghe's eyes.

So he said so comfortingly.

"In the future, I will continue to use this as a base for my activities.

Therefore, I will ask Miss Kerette to take care of you in the future. ”

"Good...... Good! Leave it to me! ”
